The latest money-making scheme is "massaging" the rewards system at CVS (drugstore). All completely legal of course, but pretty slick. Through a combination of manufacturer's coupons, CVS coupons, and CVS extra care bucks, we'll pretty much be getting dirt-cheap or profitable non-prescription items. It's a fun little logic puzzle to figure out the best combination of coupons/offers :)

Anyone interested in learning the ropes, I've been reading up here.

If you shop online much, there's a website you should know about where you can earn % back in cash (well... check rebates). And it's FREE! Lots of major retailers, too, although no Amazon. Anyone interested, comment or email and I'll send you a referral email. Yes, I get referral credit there too, but it's definitely a site that's super-useful, especially with the holidays coming up.

We bought 6 bags of candy for Halloween. We'd better get lots of trick-or-treaters or it's all going to my hips :O

I don't know why, but I have this hunch that complaining about school on a once- or twice-weekly basis isn't going to keep my readership up. I don't have much other news to report, so how about some pictures?


The first round of crops from my only unequivocally successful planting. Enough beans for a side dish, plus lots more on the way.



Painfully adorable Choco.



Incorrect spooning technique.



Correct spooning technique.

I require snuggling up on the couch with my kitties and drinking hot cocoa.

Being at school does not satisfy this requirement.

Meh.

School continues to be super-stressful, and on top of that I have to spend the entire day tomorrow (a SATURDAY) listening to seminars at the department retreat.

With that in mind, how'd you like to spend 2 or 3 minutes doing me a little favor? Just register at Squishycash by clicking on the link below (it will automatically know that I sent you), then verify your account by clicking on the email link they send you. That's it. You don't even need to do any offers. Of course I would make even more if you did, but I get a little something for everyone I sign up even if you never go to the site again. Thanks :)
